We begin by continuing the conversation around our always-fruitful music scene, as No BS! Brass Band’s Reggie Pace returns to our pages to keep us updated on the activities of local singer extraordinaire Angelica Garcia as she releases her second LP, Cha Cha Palace. Meanwhile, The Hustle Season’s own Kelli Strawbridge gets the scoop on the next step for local luminary J. Roddy Walston as he puts his long-running Business on the back burner in favor of some exciting new projects.

But that’s not all! Oh, far from it. We’re also getting the lowdown on the daily life of a model turned poet from Tiffanie Brooke, who has verses aplenty for your thirsty eyes. Meanwhile, street artist turned model Humble reveals the secrets of his path to fashion stardom, and Hip Hop Henry gets the word from JR Da Rapper and Esco of RVA’s Poverty Crew. Plus we’ve got all the up-to-the-minute coverage of local culture you’ve come to expect from us, from art and music to craft brew and foodie delights.
